Use oatmeal shampoo on dogs that have dry or itchy skin. The oatmeal in the shampoo soothes the dog's skin by providing natural emollients, helping it to retain moisture. Oatmeal shampoo can also be used on dogs that do not suffer from any skin problems. You can purchase it at a pet store, or you can make your own at home.
